NEW YORK -- Dr. Laura Schlessinger, most commonly known as Dr. Laura, is retiring from her national radio show after using the N-word three times during a radio broadcast.

Schlessinger took a phone call from a woman asking for advice on a racially charged family situation. In trying to answer her question, Schlessinger used the N-word as an example, saying black people say "expletive" all the time with one another and it's not racist.
